Brothy Quinoa (More Information)

The broth is the base of this recipe. While any broth could be used the chicken broth adds in a meatier texture that is more subtle than a beef broth would be. The quinoa slowly absorbs the flavors from the broth during the cooking process leaving the quinoa tasting fuller when the cooking is finished.

Meanwhile, mixing the cooked quinoa with the orange will offset that rich, full taste by adding in a lighter, sweeter taste. The two flavors are opposites but work well together in this particular recipe.
